picked up a few beaters that i then worked on. a couple of gloves that you would think are common but no info. So I turn to you.
A Rawlings Mantle, made in USA, with model number GM3
Also, a wilson Nelliw Fox, A2100, with an attached web.
any info on these as they are not listed in Joe's reference book.

Carmi, I think there were several gloves made "outside of the realm" of catalog issues. Remember the "Designed by" Wilson gloves i had of Santo and Fox.
Likewise Mantle I'm sure. I mean what store or promotional company (Armours - Penneys) didn't want their own Mantle glove.
Like your's I had a nice mantle (looked like the MMP) glove with G90 stamped on it. I would imagine Rawlings had various reasons for making these outside of its catalog line.
Likewise Wilson with a few players.
